An Elegant Country Sanctuary in the Heart of Riebeek West
Opportunities of this calibre are seldom offered. Set in one of the most desirable positions in Riebeek West, this bespoke country residence is a refined sanctuary — a property of quiet sophistication, privacy, and enduring charm.
Elevated within a beautifully established, park-like garden, the home enjoys uninterrupted mountain vistas on both sides, with the majestic Kasteelberg forming a dramatic natural backdrop. Mature trees, indigenous fynbos, fruit and nut trees create an atmosphere of serenity, colour, fragrance, and abundant birdlife — a true haven for those seeking a slower, more considered way of living.
Designed across two levels, the residence offers generous proportions and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor opens into a light-filled, open-plan lounge and dining space, anchored by a combustion fireplace for winter evenings and complemented by air conditioning for summer comfort. Large French doors lead onto a wrap-around, L-shaped veranda, offering both sun-drenched and shaded areas — an idyllic setting for entertaining, long lunches, or quiet sundowners overlooking the garden.
The well-appointed kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, ample cabinetry, and flows into a separate scullery and utility area. Adjacent is a versatile room with its own bathroom and private entrance, ideal as guest accommodation, a home office or studio, or a discreet income-generating AirBnB suite.
Also on the ground level is a generous main suite with air conditioning, American shutters, built-in cupboards, and French doors opening onto a private patio and the garden — a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening repose.
A striking double-volume space with clerestory windows introduces natural light throughout the home, while a robust cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the upper level. Here, two spacious guest bedrooms share a bathroom, and a large landing provides flexibility as a reading lounge, home office, or family sitting area — all enjoying elevated views toward Kasteelberg and across the gardens below.
The landscaped garden is meticulously curated yet natural in feel, featuring a wide variety of mature fruit and nut trees, indigenous planting, vegetable and herb beds, and shaded lawns. A detailed planting list is available for the discerning gardener.
Additional features include:
Double garage with automated door
Automated sliding entrance gate
Borehole with automated irrigation system
12-panel solar system with 8kW inverter and batteries
Fibre internet connectivity
Exterior security beams and modern alarm system
Garden shed and dedicated utility areas
This is a home of rare balance — elegant yet unpretentious, generous yet intimate — offering exceptional country living in one of the Western Cape’s most sought-after villages.
A property of distinction, ideally suited to those who value privacy, provenance, and lifestyle.
